I'm not an expert, but here's what I see. Move the cabinet to the left a bit to leave a wider opening through that slanted walkway. Then bring the lamp out a bit and pick a pretty shade, any that you have picked should work out. The pictures one the wall are too small and they are a little awkwardly hung. Either one large art piece, family photo, or mirror, or a grouping that relate. Clear the top of the cabinet. One larger family picture, one tall thing like a vase, and one smaller shiny thing.

Thank you for your suggestions. I plan to visit Chadstone one day for a visit to West Elm and Pottery Barn. I hadn't thought of Laura Ashley, so may look there, too. As for Wayfair, I prefer to see the lamps in person. I had high hopes for some lamps I saw on a website, but when I saw them in store I found them to be poorly made. Fig Ivy Cottage--following your suggestion, I had a look at Schots website and found a number of prospects. Thanks, I hadn't every looked at their website. I'll try to fit in a visit and see what comes of that.

Bump.

I would rethink both the tv cabinet and coffee table as along with the couches they are too heavy for the space. You need to get some light underneath them rather than the solid shapes. Currently they stain is too red. Glass is ok for tables but it can be difficult to keep clean with children in a home and having something all glass would highlight how heavy the couches were. The combo of a timber top and the iron base is good for the coffee table You could possibly paint, restain or oil the cabinet to match the table. Alternately they could be painted and used for storage in children bedrooms rather than discarding. I would work on getting some texture into the room and a lighter rug would make difference to the overall look. Go brighter rather than lighter with the cushions - and introduce some pattern- they can always be returned if they don't work. Throw rugs might also be cosy. good luck
